  • Quiet woodland camping by a peaceful stream
  • Within half an hour's drive of Cornwall's north and south coasts
  • On the edge of a 600-acre woodland with paths, trails and a café
Located on the edge of Cardinham Woods, a 600-acre woodland in the centre of Cornwall, Langs Mill Camping is a peaceful site within easy reach of the A30 or A38 and 10 minutes' drive from Bodmin Parkway railway station. This 1.5 acre site is situated in a valley clearing, with lots of space to breathe in the forest air and relax as you listen to the peaceful stream flowing by. A short stroll away are Cardinham Woods' paths, café, kids' play area and mountain bike trail – leave the car on site, cross the little bridge (or wade through the stream) and you'll be surrounded by nature in no time. You might prefer to stay on site instead to soak up the peace and quiet, paddle in the stream, build a den or try your hand at stone stacking… Guests at Langs Mill Camping have access to well-maintained toilets and showers, a covered washing-up area and a large firepit where there's seating space for up to roughly 20. After a visit to a bakery, supermarket, outdoor shop or pub? Bodmin (10 minutes away by road) will have what you're looking for.

Electric optional grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Set in Cardinham Woods, on Bodmin Moor, part of a family home, this 4 pitch site, including a well maintained shepherds hut, gave a very quite and relaxed setting including a babbling river to dip your feet into and walks on the doorstep through Cardinham Woods, it was beautiful. Facilities were well maintained. Out and about was between half hour to an hour to most places which was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this rural location, thank you to Trevor and Clare.

Electric optional grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: We had the most wonderful time at Langs Mill! Trevor and Claire made us feel very welcome the minute we arrived. It's so peaceful and quiet, very few tent pitches, very clean and well equipped facilities! The sound of nearby stream, beautiful forest and great hosts made our experience extra special! This is our most favourite campsite by far and we hope to be back soon.

Disliked: Nothing

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Stayed at Langs mill shepherds hut for two nights. The Shepherds hut is spotlessly clean, furnished to high standard and super cosy. It had everything you need with a a welcome pack of goodies provided on your arrival. On the first day we had planned to explore Cornwall but as the area is so stunning we decided to enjoy the woods walk and eat lunch on our outside space provided, listening to the trickling of the stream near by. Trevor was very helpful in suggesting some coastal walks and restaurants in the area. Would like to return sometime soon, and perhaps bring the rest of the family to camp adjacent to the shepherds hut as suggested on the site.

Disliked: None

Electric optional grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: I was working remotely during our stay and enjoyed excellent wifi the entire time. Video calls were no problem at all! The hosts were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. Quiet, peaceful, immersed in nature. Perfect!

Disliked: If you have a particularly large vehicle (like me!) you have to plan your route a little bit to make sure you come in from the Cardinham village side to make the sharp turn. It's a very narrow road, so be prepared for twigs on both sides. Tight, but possible for a confident driver.

Local attractions

Located close to Bodmin Moor, Langs Mill Camping is near the dramatic landscapes that inspired Daphne du Maurier's 'Jamaica Inn' – and the actual inn and museum are about a quarter of an hour away by road. Also nearby, Bodmin town centre (10 minutes’ drive) has bike hire – handy for cycling trips through Cardinham Woods or the Camel Trail (15 minutes) – as well as a leisure centre with a pool and gym. Lanhydrock (15 minutes) is a nearby National Trust property with a gorgeous house and gardens, while down at the Eden Project (25 minutes) there's a whole world of exotic flowers and foliage to explore. Further to the west and close to the coast there's also The Lost Gardens of Heligan (35 minutes) – an excellent option for those who like to mix greenery with trips to the seaside. Speaking of the coast, Langs Mill Camping's handy location means that it's within easy reach of beaches in either the north or the south of Cornwall – whether you're drawn to tiny coves and old fishing villages like Polperro (35 minutes) or big stretches of sand like Polzeath (35 minutes), you’ll find what you’re looking for here.
